# ๐ฌ YARR Media Stack MCP Server
A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that bridges the gap between Large Language Models (LLMs) and your self-hosted media technology stack. This project enables intelligent automation and natural language control of your media services while maintaining traditional programmatic access.
## ๐ฏ Key Features
- ๐ค LLM-powered natural language control of media services
- ๐ Modular architecture for easy service integration
- ๐ Unified API gateway for traditional access
- ๐ฎ Web UI for visual control (planned)
- ๐ Direct API access without LLM middleware
- ๐งฉ Extensible plugin system for new services

## ๐๏ธ Project Structure
This monorepo is organized into modular packages, each serving a specific purpose:
- ๐ฆ `packages/server`: Core MCP server implementation
- ๐ `packages/web`: Web UI interface (planned)
- ๐ฌ `packages/chatbot`: LLM chat interface (planned)
- ๐ `packages/api-gateway`: API routing and service coordination (planned)

## ๐๏ธ Architecture
The project follows a modular architecture where each service package contains:
- ๐ API client implementation
- ๐ Type definitions
- ๐ ๏ธ MCP tools for service interaction
- ๐ฃ๏ธ API routes
This architecture supports multiple interaction methods:
1. **LLM-Powered Control**: Natural language processing for intuitive media management
2. **Traditional API Access**: Direct API calls through the unified gateway
3. **Web Interface**: Visual control panel for service management (planned)
4. **Chatbot Interface**: Conversational UI for service control (planned)
The modular design allows for:
- Easy addition of new services
- Independent service deployment
- Flexible interaction methods
- Consistent API patterns across services
## ๐ Getting Started
### Prerequisites
```bash
# Clone and setup repository
git clone https://github.com/jmagar/yarr
cd yarr
pnpm install
```
### Configuration
1. Create `.env` file from template:
```bash
cp .env.template .env
```
Then add your service API keys:
```env
# Sonarr Configuration
SONARR_URL=http://localhost:8989
SONARR_API_KEY=your_sonarr_api_key
# Prowlarr Configuration
PROWLARR_URL=http://localhost:9696
PROWLARR_API_KEY=your_prowlarr_api_key
# Overseerr Configuration
OVERSEERR_URL=http://localhost:5055
OVERSEERR_API_KEY=your_overseerr_api_key
# Gotify Configuration
GOTIFY_URL=http://localhost:8080
GOTIFY_APP_TOKEN=your_gotify_app_token
GOTIFY_CLIENT_TOKEN=your_gotify_client_token # Optional, for receiving messages
```
2. Configure Claude Desktop:
> **Important**: Use full paths in your configuration to ensure Claude Desktop can find the executables and project directory.
